U.S.A. Medal Favorites Show How Success Is Built

(NAPSI)—As excitement builds for the world's biggest winter
sports event in February, tales of perseverance and determination highlight
the stage. Athletes across the nation will showcase how drive and ambition
are built with the power of the human spirit.

Athletes And Insights

Here's a look at some of the more intriguing tales:

• While ski jumping has always been one of the most thrilling
extreme sports, women have not been allowed to participate alongside their
male counterparts at the highest level, until now. The Women's Ski
Jumping U.S.A. athletes
persevered and pushed for their place in history on sports' biggest
stage and will join the other 97 events in Russia, 2014.

Elite athletes, coaches and serious exercisers are recognizing the benefits of refueling with lowfat chocolate milk.

• In 2010, Zach Parise scored U.S.A.'s tying goal late in the final
hockey game against Canada
to send it to overtime. Although his team went home as runners-up, Parise still dreams of winning gold and will get a second
chance to do so in Russia.

• These incredible athletes-U.S.A. Hockey star Zach Parise plus Women's Ski Jumping U.S.A. athletes
Abby Hughes, Alissa Johnson, Jessica Jerome,
Lindsey Van, Nita Englund, Nina Lussi
and Sarah Hendrickson—are being recognized in the new BUILT WITH
CHOCOLATE MILK campaign, which showcases what elite athletes have known for
years and what research supports: Drinking lowfat
chocolate milk after strenuous exercise helps athletes refuel and rebuild
their bodies so they're ready to give it their all in their next
workout or competition. For any athlete competing in Russia in
2014, recovering effectively between each intense training session can mean
the difference between going home empty-handed and standing on the podium.
